While most of the fans admired him for having a great sense of humour, there was one fan who tried to pull his leg. Nonetheless, Jaffer handled the situation really well.
'I might have played just..': Wasim Jaffer
A netizen asked the former Mumbai skipper whether he had any idea how many Test matches he has played for India and when it came to the veteran cricketer's notice, instead of trolling that person, he replied in such a manner that he ended up winning everyone's hearts.
